Card Design: Pattie's Creations Challenge #143…Love is in the Air

Hello to all my friends, followers and readers out there in blogland! I'm here today to announce the next challenge over at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge. This time around for Challenge #143, the theme is Love is in the Air. February is the month of love and with Valentine's Day right around the corner, this is the perfect month to create a card for someone special in your life. So, it is time to get in the mood and sing that old song from the 70's written by John Paul Young and sung by Tom Jones. Here, I'll even start off the first couple of lines for you. It is certain to get those feelings of love stirred and get you in the mood to create a card for someone near and dear to your heart!

♩ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ ♩♩ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ ♩

Love is in the air...everywhere I look around
Love is in the air...every sight and every sound

♩ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ ♩♩ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ ♩

Now, while you are either humming along or cursing me for the earworm I just stuck you with, check out the my card and details. I hope that I haven't forgotten anything important:

General Info:

This card has been created 100% digitally and then layered in a Mock Up (courtesy of Frisk Shop). I will print it out and assemble it a later date.

FRONT

Digital Image Details:

You Moove Me: Such an adorable image perfect for any love related card. You can find it
in Pattie's Etsy shop by clicking on the image name or watermark linked
below.

This image has been coloured combining a couple of different techniques. Additional Credits include:

The ric rac ribbon is from the Winter Romance kit designed by Correen Silke and is available at ComputerScrapbook.

The banner shape in behind the sentiment was designed by Marisa Lerin, Pixel Scrapper.

INSIDE

Digital Sentiment Details:

The sentiment is from Paulette from Create with TLC. For great freebies and inspiration be sure to

to go to the home page of the store.

OVERALLDigital Paper Products:

The papers used for the background are from Imagine That Digistamp. The cow patterned paper is from the Cow Patterns Digi Paper Pack and the red textured paper is from the Ticket to Bliss Digi Paper Pack. Click on the respective preview below to find each set in the store.

Digital Embellishment Details:

I have used basic shapes in Photoshop Elements to create matting in behind the image and sentiment.

I have applied shadow layer styles to give certain elements some depth. These styles were designed by Sheila Reid, Pixel Scrapper.

You have until March 1st to enter our challenge which should give you
lots of time to get a creation done. Remember the theme is Love is in the Air.
I really hope that you will be able to join us. You can enter twice per challenge and of
course MUST follow all the challenge requirements that are posted for
each challenge (please click HERE
to become familiar with all the rules). In addition to all the typical criterion, you MUST USE A DIGITAL OR
STAMPED IMAGE to qualify for the drawing (unless stated otherwise). We
would absolutely love to see you use a Pattie's Creations
(PC) image on your card, but you are allowed to use other images. If
you do use a PC image, you will gain an extra entry in the draw and will
have a better chance to WIN! Easy Peasy right?!

Pop over to the challenge
blog and check out what my fabulous teammates have offered up for
inspiration. Oh and don't forget…Pattie offers up a new freebie the
first Friday of the month and it will remain up for approximately two
weeks; so, be sure to pop over and check it out as well!

Well guys, that is it for this one. Hopefully I will see you all very
soon.

About Me

Hi! My name is Lisa and welcome to my blog. Whether drawing, painting, cross-stitching, card making, or doing nail art, I've been 'creating' since I was knee high to a grasshopper. At the end of 2011, I really started getting interested in the world of card making and nail art. I knew that there were already a lot of creative card makers, digi stamp designers, and nail artists out there and I continue to learn a lot from them, but I needed a place to showcase my work so I could enter some challenges and as a result, created this blog in October of 2012.
I live in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. I am happily married to my college sweetheart and we have been married for over 27 years. We were never blessed with children so our 'babies' have always been cats. Currently, we have one female tabby named Marigold.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a blast!
